HIV-Infected Georgia Man Popped For Having Unprotected Sex

An Athens man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly having unprotected sex with a woman without telling her he was infected with the HIV virus.

Ricky Billings, 52, was charged with felony reckless conduct.

Athens-Clarke County police began an investigation on Sept. 8, when a 32-year-old woman filed a complaint.

Because the complaint included medical information that’s protected by state privacy laws, the police incident report is heavily redacted and does not give clear insight as to the nature of the woman’s complaint.

According to the arrest warrant, Billings knowingly endangered the woman.

Billings “did … intentionally have unprotected sexual intercourse on multiple occasions with the victim without disclosing the fact that he was HIV positive,” according to the warrant.

The couple had relations beginning in July, according to the warrant.

At the time the complaint was filed, Billings resided at Timber Chase apartments on Sycamore Drive, according to the police report.

The victim provided police with Billings’ street name and a location where he “provided snacks and other items for any that come to the house with money,” according to the report.

The report was forwarded to the Athens-Clarke County police Sex Crimes Unit and Drug Task Force. Billings was released from the Clarke County Jail early Wednesday morning after posting a $1,000 bond.

This world is filled with a lot of sick people who don’t care about you or your health. Make sure to wrap it up folks!!!
